Progress on a Bridge to Somewhere

Enough progress has been made on the new Bond Bridge that, according to the STAR, some northbound traffic may use it by the end of 2010. The bridge's south deck is being cantilevered out from the central pylon... 40 cables will eventually support the road bed... you can see that several have already been installed in the center. Total completion of the bridge won't be until June in 2011. (correction by Mr. Daisy... July 2011)

    Have you heard of anything marking the completion of the a-frame? It might be so high up there's nothing to photograph.

    No, the only info I got was about the installation of the mini-crane on top... you can see it... it's yellow... the biggest concrete pour in the state of Missouri is scheduled to begin soon on the north deck...

    Dear Mr. Daisy: Please correct the above post to read "The bridge is scheduled to be complete in July 2011." Thank you Mr. Editor!
